A heavy, compact sans with a squared, superellipse construction and consistently rounded corners. Strokes are monolinear and dense, with large interior counters shaped like rounded rectangles; apertures tend to be tight, giving the design a solid, block-like silhouette. Curves resolve into flattened bowls and chamfer-like transitions, and several joins show small notches that read as ink-trap-like cut-ins. Uppercase proportions are wide and stable, while lowercase keeps a sturdy, geometric rhythm with short ascenders and a single-storey “a,” resulting in an overall chunky, tightly packed texture in lines of text.
Best suited to display settings where its dense, rounded-square shapes can read clearly and carry impact—headlines, posters, labels, and brand marks. It also fits sporty or industrial-themed graphics and product packaging where a strong, modern voice is needed. For longer text, it will perform better with generous tracking and line spacing to prevent the compact counters from filling in.
The font projects a robust, no-nonsense energy with a distinctly engineered feel. Its rounded-rectangular geometry adds a friendly, game-like tone on top of the strength, making it feel both tough and approachable. The overall impression is bold and attention-seeking, with a contemporary, slightly retro-digital flavor.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum presence through a unified rounded-rectangular construction, pairing strong silhouettes with softened corners for approachability. The tight apertures and occasional ink-trap-like cut-ins suggest a focus on maintaining character at bold weights and in high-impact applications while keeping a clean, geometric identity.
Figures are built from the same squared-round vocabulary, helping numerals and letters feel cohesive in UI-like settings. The small counters and closed forms can visually darken in long passages, while larger sizes emphasize the distinctive rounded-square theme and the crisp, cut-in joins.
